Hi All,

In Fedora Code 15 and SL6, floppy drives are no longer
automatically supported.  Rats ...

If I "#modprobe floppy", I get my /dev/fd0 back.  I can then
manually mount floppy drive disks.  But I do not get the
bazillions of /dev/fd* entries in /dev.  Just the one /dev/fd0.
And, my floppy drive does not show up in my Xfce 4.8
file manager, before or after the modprobe.

Do I need to yum something?  Did I miss a driver?  I
can manually mount disks.

Many thanks,
-T
